Abstract

The development of digital technology in education provides opportunities for students in the Islamic Elementary School Teacher Education (PGMI) Study Program to develop creative educational products. This creativity not only supports learning needs but also has the potential to be developed within the field of edupreneurship. This study aims to analyze the forms of creativity demonstrated by PGMI students in developing digital educational products and to identify their potential as edupreneurship opportunities. A qualitative approach using a literature review method was employed in this study. The data sources consisted of secondary data obtained from scientific journal articles, proceedings, and other relevant academic sources. Data analysis was conducted descriptively and analytically through thematic synthesis, focusing on student creativity, digital educational products, and edupreneurship. The results of the review indicate that PGMI students demonstrate creativity in developing various digital educational products, such as interactive media, digital teaching materials, flashcards, educational games, and instructional videos. This creativity is reflected in their ability to generate ideas, modify learning materials, utilize technology, and adapt products to students’ needs. These digital products have the potential to be developed into products that provide both educational and economic value. This study concludes that creativity, pedagogical competence, digital literacy, and an entrepreneurial mindset are interconnected aspects that support edupreneurship. Therefore, strengthening practice-based, technology-oriented, and entrepreneurship-oriented learning is essential to encourage PGMI students to become prospective educators as well as innovators and edupreneurs.
